Japan New Year's Day 7.4 Earthquake

[passenger]

Georgia's (Russia) ambassador to Japan is stuck on the bullet train

The diplomat's spirits are high, however, with Teimuraz Lezhava posting that "I'm on the Shinkansen. Although the train is stopped and there is no prospect of recovery, I am doing well due to the communication situation. I would like to see safety come first, and priority be given to areas that have suffered damage or are in need of rescue."

He also said that "beverages other than alcohol sold on Shinkansen trains are sold out. I'm a little worried because I have children, but we all have the same difficulties. Let's get through it together!"

I know; looking at a map you'd think that a good, strong quake would just knock that whole little island into the ocean.

My son lives lives in the Hiroshima area, southern Japan; he says that earthquakes are way more common in northern parts of Japan. That underground bullet train, though, YIKES!

This is the deadliest earthquake in Japan's history. The Great Kanto earthquake which happened on Sept 1, 1923. Killed 105,000 to 142,000 people.
